Love and Lattes

Chapter 10

Once the order was ready, Girardi then came back to their table carrying two plates.

One with a bright orange looking pizza that presumably shows a lot of shaved carrot pieces in it.

While the other plate had a 3 meatball sub with overly poured marinara sauce and extra cheese sprinkled on top.

"Here you are. One large carrot pizza and one meatball sub with extra marinara sauce." Girardi expressed excitedly as he lay the plates of food down on the table in front of them.

"Thanks, Mr. Girardi." Bugs said while looking over at Daffy to see what he thinks about the food.

But obviously, the answer was clear enough.

It was very delicious.

"Do you like it, eh?" Girardi asked, who wanted to know as well, with high anticipation and excitement in his voice.

"Mmm. Man, this is so good! Where can I get the recipe?" Daffy asked curiously while halfway chewing on his food.

"Ah. Ah. A chef never tells his customers his secrets." Girardi said determinedly with an teasing 'I'm never giving up my recipe' look on his face.

"Aww." Daffy pouted with his lip puckered out  so adorably, that it made Bugs smiled warmheartedly while Girardi simply laughed at the two.

"Haha. Well I better leave you two to it, then. You both enjoy now, yeah." Mr. Girardi said as he walks over towards the kitchen station, so that he can let them tend to their dinners, alone.

Bugs and Daffy, at this point, talked for what seemed like several hours, about lots of random topics that came into their minds.

Until Bugs had a small thought that was telling him to mention the piano within the mist of their conversation.

"So, where is your piano?" Bugs asked suddenly, in a very curious manner.

"Oh, I had a couple of my grandmother's old buddies help me move the piano down at the Catalonia's Jazz Club downtown, right by the street from where I lived. Or....used to live, that is."  Daffy recalled, who seem to have reminded himself of why he used to live there.

While Bugs immediately had interest in mind once he heard the words "Jazz" and "Club" in the picture.

Jazz club?

Wow!

That's so cool!

How come I never heard of this place before?

Bugs thought, excitedly.

Jazz happened to be one of his favorite genres of music.

Especially, the smooth kind that can put anyone to sleep at night.

Or when it's simple background music that carried on in a sway motion with the rain.

Maybe this can also be a good chance to listen to Daffy playing the piano as well.

Bugs thought with a warm smile.

Even if it doesn't turn out to be perfect music, he would still love to hear what he's been able to do, so far.

"That sounds amazing! We should definitely go there after this and have you play your piano on live stage!" Bugs suggests in a burst of excitement while Daffy quickly jolted at the idea of it all.

"Oh really? Right now? But... I don't think I'm ready. I haven't been able to properly practice but for only a few months and it's just so hard getting the tuning right. I don't think I'm good enough, just yet." Daffy said as he rubbed his neck with his cheeks growing pink in embarrassment.
